My capital is quite large.

Just as the entertainment industry was embroiled in a heated debate over the age threshold of a variety show.

Inside the well-known Great Hall of Beijing.

A conference representing the highest level and voice of private enterprises at Southeast University—the National Symposium on High-Quality Development of Key Private Enterprises—is being held here.

Seated on either side of the long, narrow main table were business tycoons who truly controlled the economic pulse of Dongda University.

Pony Ma from Shenhai City, Jack Ma from Hangzhou, Dongzi from Jingxi, and even the reclusive Mr. Ren from Huawei are all on the list.

Li Feng, who has not appeared in public for a long time, sat between Pony Ma and Jack Ma.

When it was Haofeng Group's turn to speak as a typical example of the integration of advanced manufacturing and technological entities, Li Feng, who was originally a bit tired, straightened his expression and slowly walked onto the podium.

Under the spotlight, Li Feng addressed the leaders and business tycoons on the stage, delivering a deeply moving speech that demonstrated a broad perspective:

"...The root of the private economy lies in industry. The soul of private enterprises lies in science and technology."

"Over the past few years, many people have asked me why Haofeng chose to tackle chip manufacturing, a difficult field that costs tens of billions of dollars and yields little results, instead of focusing on the quickest way to make money in the asset-light internet sector?"

Li Feng's gaze was calm and resolute, and his voice resounded throughout the hall through the microphone:

My answer can be summed up in one sentence: Because the University of Tokyo needs it!

"If we, the entrepreneurs who have gotten rich first, only focus on the few cents in ordinary people's shopping baskets every day, and only think about how to exploit people in the virtual world through algorithms..."

"When the storm comes, who will stand up for the university's industry?!"

"Haofeng Group will always remain true to its original aspiration, taking breakthroughs in core technologies and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation as our eternal guiding principles!"

……

"Whoosh—!!"

Thunderous applause erupted from the audience!

Several large circle members nodded frequently, their eyes full of admiration.

Taking advantage of the applause, Li Feng smoothly presented a report entitled "Suggestions on Promoting the Deep Integration and Innovative Development of Digital Technology and High-end Physical Manufacturing," once again solidifying his image as a pioneer in building a technologically strong nation.

As one of the few public appearances Li Feng makes each year without fail, being able to sit in this room is itself a symbol of his status.

In the subsequent concluding remarks from above.

These financial tycoons, who wield immense influence in the outside world, behaved like a group of elementary school students offstage, sitting upright and diligently taking notes on every single word.

However, Li Feng, sitting in the front row, subtly noticed some subtle details around him out of the corner of his eye.

At this moment, the rigid requirements for preventing and resolving systemic financial risks are being proclaimed on stage:

"...We must firmly uphold the bottom line! We must resolutely curb the flow of financial capital away from the real economy! We must strictly adhere to the capital adequacy ratio regulatory red line of the Basel Accords!"

"Any activities that utilize internet platforms to engage in unlicensed financial business, disguised high-leverage online lending, or the creation of capital pools must be resolutely cleaned up and scaled back! No capital will be allowed to transfer risk to society!"

When I hear the terms "Basel Accords" and "tightening of P2P lending", I feel a sense of urgency.

Jack Ma, who was sitting not far to Li Feng's right, had a slightly gloomy expression that was originally calm.

This e-commerce mogul, who had just leveraged billions of yuan in capital into nearly a trillion yuan in high-leverage lending through Ant Group's large-scale ABS asset securitization, paused for a long time with his pen hovering over the paper.

His lips were clenched, and his eyes revealed a hint of resentment, resistance, and irritation.

He was clearly impatient with the traditional prudential regulations on the stage, feeling that these outdated financial rules were hindering his grand dream of subverting the banking system.

Li Feng took in Jack Ma's subtle expressions and couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

Boss Ma clearly hasn't realized the terror of power yet.

To publicly contradict others when one's own strength is insufficient...

That's not bravery, that's courting death!

People, in the end, can't be too arrogant.

In stark contrast to Jack Ma's resistance is Pony Ma, the penguin leader on the other side.

The moment Da Yuan finished speaking!

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

Without even a second's hesitation, Pony Ma's face was filled with a devout smile, and he was the first to lead the applause!

The way he clapped was so perfect, and the sincerity of his expression made it seem as if every word on stage had touched his heart!

Seeing the different reactions of these two internet giants, Li Feng couldn't help but think to himself:

Although the two Mas shared the same trough, they both made waves in the business world of Dongda University.

But when it comes to the awareness of surviving on the fringes of the system...

The difference in their levels of understanding is truly enormous.

......

Inside a duplex mansion on the ground floor of the Mid-Levels in Hong Kong.

Yang Mi wore a nightgown, her long hair casually tied back.

The pen in his hand circled and marked on a stack of foreign language documents.

Sitting on the opposite sofa, Song Qian was even breathing very softly.

Seemingly tired from studying, Yang Mi rubbed her slightly swollen temples and asked:

"How's Liu Zhimin's Chinese learning going lately?"

"Can you please speak clearly and legibly?!"

Upon hearing the leader's sudden question, Song Qian quickly sat up straight and carefully chose her words to report to her supervisor:

"Sister Mi, Zhimin is a bright kid, and she's already stopped all her acting work."

"Besides practicing dance every day, I spent all my time in my room memorizing things by rote."

Song Qian smiled and tried to portray the progress in an optimistic light:

"At present, when singing some slow, lyrical ballads, it is impossible to detect any flaws."

"There aren't any major problems with basic daily conversations."

At this point, Song Qian's tone became somewhat hesitant:

"But... Sister Honey, as you know..."

"The pronunciation system in South Korea, with its velar consonants and dental fricatives, is completely different from that in Chinese."

"It's fine when I speak softly and slowly, but once I speed up my speech a little, or when I encounter words with multiple pronunciations, it sounds like I'm speaking with a kimchi accent."

"Slow songs? Ordinary conversations?"

Yang Mi snorted coldly, her sharp gaze sweeping over Song Qian:

"If it was just to get her to sing a few bland, slow songs, why would I go through all that trouble to bring her back from Seoul?!"

"This week, go to the Ministry of Justice and find a way to change Liu Zhimin's nationality!"

"Let's go to Thailand!"

......

"Thailand... Thailand?!"

Song Qian was stunned, her face filled with disbelief!

How about giving a Seoul girl a Sawasdee citizenship?!

Yang Mi raised an eyebrow, looking at Song Qian's naive and unsophisticated expression:

"What's the big deal?!"

"With the ban on Korean cards so deadly, shouldn't we find another way out?"

"Since the entire entertainment industry is pouring resources into the idol/idol track, our company, Jiaxing, absolutely cannot fall behind!"

At this point, Yang Mi's eyes suddenly turned cold:

"Starting today, Liu Zhimin's Chinese training will be doubled in intensity!"

"I don't care what method you use, she has to learn to rap in Chinese before the show starts filming at the end of the year!!"

"At that time, I will register for the competition independently as a foreign trainee!"
